That's the main book I have to read for summer reading. It's an ok book to me so far, since I'm only like on page 100 or so, but there are some parts that are just..why is that in there?

If you haven't read or heard about it, the story takes place in Afghanistan. As far as I know, it involves the friendship of 2 boys and their families. The main character is Amir and his friend is Hassan. The worst, sickest, and in my opinion, the most unnecessary part so far in this book has to be where Hassan gets..well let's say r'd by a bully, named Assef. When I read that I was like, "What kind of boy would do that to another boy? Doesn't that make him gay?" I don't care if it shows he thinks Hassan is absolute garbage compared to him, I think that a bully would have beat the crud out of him.

I'm really beginning to dislike Amir where I am at right now in the book. He saw Hassan's incident and didn't even try to charge in and protect Hassan. Then he feels guilty whenever Hassan is around him and he tries to get Hassan out of the house since Hassan and his father are servants to Amir and his dad. Hassan and his dad eventually move out when Amir says that Hassan stole his watch and money, which is a complete lie since he planted it under Hassan's pillow. I'm thinking of Amir as a real sissy since he didn't even try to beat up Assef and his buddies. Sure Assef may have been bigger than him, but that didn't seem to scare Hassan. I mean, why wouldn't he just throw even one punch at Assef?

Sometimes I hate the books teachers make us read. If I ever become an English Teacher, I would let students read comic books if they want to for summer reading. Much more easier to follow with all the pictures and not to mention, much more interesting with all the action.
